On Sunday 13th January 2019, we published the names of donors on a board in the entrance hall of the Club. We are truly grateful for their generosity in contributing to the gym fund so far. With the completion of the gym and changing room project now in sight, we must focus on raising £60,000 to equip our new gym to a standard of excellence.

If you have any questions about the project or want to discuss making a donation, please email our Vice President, Ben Helm on ben.helm@londonrc.org.uk
